But I haven't got any boards  ;D

I want the socket A CPUs, all of 'em.
I'll pay in BTC, TBX, FBX, GG, or LTC.  Not SC2, though.

Those CPU need to be benchmarked with dry ice or LN2 cooling :D

Hmm, would minerd --scrypt even run on an Athlon XP? :P

Bwahahaha
awesome man - needed a laugh  ;D

I dare you to post another pic of that cpu box within your own post viewing this thread.

Hmm?

Not bad :P Just need 40 of them to beat my 1055T @ 3.5Ghz  ;D

I want to bench 'em.
Maybe I should do some LTC benchmarking... See if I can hit 10KH/s/core.
Could be doable, take a Thuban up to 7ghz and run one thread with two cores enabled....  I'll try it when I get a thuban :D

Did someone say... Inception?

Any good CPU's there? I'll buy any 775s you've got.

Sorry, no 775's yet.
Only a few 1155, 1156 and 1366's but I didn't have a socket for them so I trashed them.

Do you extract gold from CPU's ?

I know its possible but you better get Pentium Pro's or the old Cyrix CPU's for that.

I keep them for decoration and in the near future I want to buy something like this and put them in there:

I also have about 5 kilo of PC memory (SIPP, SIMM, DIMM, RIMM) in a box.
Bought some on eBay (and the Dutch version: Marktplaats) and I work at a PC store for 15 years now, so I collected a lot of old stuff :) Some of it is broken but most just old and obsolete from scrap computers...

My other hobby is Sinclair computers and old electronics:

I have about all of the models ever build.
Also an unbuilt ZX81  :)

Not the actual one, but to give you an idea:

LOL @ the inception shots, it sure does proves that you really have the products in hand.

Yeah :P Once a guy said: it's almost impossible to find a ZX80 nowadays so I had to prove him wrong :P

Doesnt seem that impossible to me:

Any modern CPUs that work?  I'd pay you for core-i series, better than throwing them out.

I've still got a 1990s romanian spectrum clone. What kind of LTC crunching power do you suppose that would give ?  :D Some spectrums were even made with network ports, sadly mine is not one of those.

Same ^^

You should make little labels and put them in a glass display like those where people keep dead butterflies and beetles.

On a related note, lc.ozco.in is processing 70% of the Litecoin transactions at the moment with a single miner, "temp", pulling  2 MHash/S

there was talk on btc-e of people loading public/store computers up with ltc miners, wonder if that's him.

More likely a botnet. And that IMO is LTCs greatest flaw. A botnet could easily take it over.
At least for now, its much harder to take over a cryptocurrency running on GPU's; though that might change in 5 years or so if opencl capable IGPs become more common.
